"Finding a home for me and my sisters, Runt and Baby, is going to be a struggle, since it's hard enough for senior pets to find a furever family in a shelter let alone THREE together. But we need to stay together. Runt is the cuddler of us, whereas Baby has some spit and fire in her but she just really needs us older cats and some security. Truth is, shelter life is hard when you were used to being in your own house before! Sadly, we were in bad shape when we first arrived, and that's why I've been shaved - I'm actually a longhair kitty but needed to get a ton of yucky mats off." "I am shy and hide a lot, but I don't mind if you reach in and pet me, and a gentle voice and demeanor can make me purr. I would love a gentle human to watch over me and my sisters, and would undoubtedly come out of my shell more when I'm in a loving home. I was bothered by children before when they were rough with me, so I may not be comfortable in a home with kids under 10. I do great with other cats, though, and am bound to be a lovebug once I calm down. I don't mind being held and snuggled and protected." Sampson is a scared, sweet boy who likes being held and protected from the world. If you pick him up, he nuzzles into your chest or neck or wherever he can to feel safe. He flinches sometimes when you pet him, but we believe he still has some bad memories from poor treatment years ago. Despite his mysterious and hard past (one of his eyes is darker than the other, which according to the family who brought them in, is from abuse from some bad neighborhood kids years ago) he still seems willing to consider trusting a few quiet and patient humans. He's getting better.
